Which is lighter, Absen JP5 Pro or Planar CLI5.2-F?

Planar CLI5.2-F is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 30 kg/m². Across this wall that is 461 kg of difference — 819 kg versus 1,280 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.

Which draws more power?

Absen JP5 Pro draws more: 690 W/m² against 600 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 27.6 kW versus 21.6 kW, and 10 versus 8 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.

Which resolves finer?

Both resolve to about the same density — 36,864 and 36,864 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.

Absen JP5 Pro vs Planar CLI5.2-F

5.2 mm against 5.2 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile — so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 5.00 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Both resolve to about the same density — 36,864 and 36,864 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
Planar CLI5.2-F is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 30 kg/m². Across this wall that is 461 kg of difference — 819 kg versus 1,280 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Absen JP5 Pro draws more: 690 W/m² against 600 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 27.6 kW versus 21.6 kW, and 10 versus 8 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Planar CLI5.2-F: 3 runs against 4, at 14 and 56 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
Different cabinet formats: 1000 × 1000 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 40 tiles versus 144 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
Estimated truck space: 3.3 m for Absen JP5 Pro against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
